Let’s discover this unique shop in Bordeaux, unearthed by Nadia Bergeat: Monastic Craftsmanship managed by an association called ATC “Aide au Travail des Cloitres”. The association was born in 1951, it is non-profit and helps distribute around 3000 products from different religious communities in France and Europe. Monastic Crafts allows cloistered monks and nuns to meet their needs through the sale of products made by craftsmen in the monasteries.
Nadia Bergeat: More than 200 communities in France manufacture a wide variety of products, respecting nature and the rhythms of the seasons.
Salty and sweet groceries, recipes from the past such as jams cooked in a cauldron, cream of Dordogne walnuts, biscuits from Notre Dame du Rivet very close to here in Auros, fruit jellies, pasta fresh, flour, black garlic, chutney, infusions, compotes, honey, all straight from their orchards, their fields, their gardens. This shop is full of good products made with care and respect for nature without additives and most often ORGANIC. The grocery store is located at 6, cours de l’intendance in Bordeaux.
